General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: 20103001761 (กรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพ / Department of Health Service Support, Ministry of Public Health — private clinic establishment license, valid to 31 December 2027) (RE-ADJUDICATED 2026-08-25 (quarantine review): the earlier verified-false is OVERTURNED. The earlier pass tried the ASCII strings 'Doctor Smile' / 'Doctor Smile Dental' (this register is Thai-script only) and the Thai literal translation 'หมอยิ้ม', which is the wrong Thai form: the clinic transliterates 'Doctor Smile' rather than translating it. Its own Facebook page (facebook.com/doctorsmile.pattaya, linked from doctorsmilepattaya.com) is titled 'Doctor Smile Pattaya ด็อกเตอร์สไมล์', giving the Thai name 'ด็อกเตอร์สไมล์'. Searching that string returns 3 rows, the first of which is this clinic: 'คลินิกทันตกรรมด็อกเตอร์สไมล์', เลขที่ 111/71-72 หมู่ 10 ถนนพัทยาใต้ ตำบลหนองปรือ อำเภอบางละมุง จังหวัดชลบุรี, เลขที่ใบอนุญาตประกอบกิจการ 20103001761, ใช้ได้ถึงวันที่ 31 ธันวาคม 2570 (31 Dec 2027). Address match: the registry's 111/71-72 หมู่ 10 ถนนพัทยาใต้ contains this record's stored '111/72 Moo 10 South Pattaya Rd., Banglamung, Chonburi', and the clinic's own site renders the same address in Thai as 'ถ. พัทยาใต้ เมืองพัทยา อำเภอบางละมุง ชลบุรี 20150'. Cross-checked by license-number search (keyword 20103001761), which returns the same single row. Thai variants tried today: ด็อกเตอร์สไมล์ (HIT), ดอกเตอร์สไมล์ (no match — the ไม้ไต่คู้ spelling is the registered one).) [doctor-smile-dental-clinic-lic] [s7] [s1]
